Vu Khac Ky

I am a researcher in mathematics and computer science at FPT university, Vietnam. I graduated from Hanoi University of Science (honors programs) in 2009, then did a master at TU Kaiserslautern (Germany). In 2012, I was the unique student in France that was awarded a PhD scholarship from Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK.

After obtaining a PhD in Theoretical Computer Science at Ecole Polytechnique (France), I worked for 2 years at ITCSC (Chinese University of Hong Kong) before coming back to Vietnam to work as the Director of Marketing at MEGA DUNK. I have officially worked at FPT University since 2019.

I am one of the primary contributors for the project Flyspeck - one of the largest projects in the history of formal mathematics. The purpose of the project is to construct a verifiable proof for the Kepler conjecture (which remained unsolved for 400 years) that can be automatically checked by computers. The project has finished successfully in 2014.
